Fendi is a large, black mixed breed/black Labrador Retriever female currently based in South Houston, TX. She’s about 5 years old and has been spayed. Her vaccinations are up to date, and she conquered some early health challenges. Persistent scarring from past burns means her fur won’t regrow on her back, but she makes up for it with her loving nature.

About Fendi

Fendi’s first chapter was rough. She was left behind in a field by her previous family, scared and in pain, with severe burns down her back. When officers found her, she stayed put, unwilling to give up hope that her people would return for her. They didn’t. Instead, she was carried to safety and rushed to the vet, where she received much-needed medical care. The burns left permanent scars, and she lost her fur along her back, but her spirit never wavered. Fendi had clearly been overbred, so she was spayed and treated for heartworms. Through every step of her recovery, she’s shown remarkable sweetness and resilience—always reaching out, quite literally, to connect with those nearby. After surviving so much, Fendi now lives with infectious puppy-like excitement. She’s playful, full of love, and absolutely ready to make someone her whole world. If you’re looking for a devoted companion in South Houston, Fendi is waiting to meet you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
